Yeah, Most of the ones that I have looked into have had alot of rot. A majority of them have been in the Southeast. Being from Florida originally, I know that if you let a nice car sit out in the weather for a few years, they'll rot to the ground. When I was a teen in South Florida, there were alot of SE's around. I'm leaning towards getting this one, it does come with alot of new parts. It also has a freshly built rear with 3.55 gears and Eaton Posi and new front and rear springs and shocks. I just wish it had the original drivetrain. If I do get it I'm thinking LS2 or LS3 since it won't be #s matching and only had the 403 anyways.
